GT1030(as main gpu) and GT730(as dedicated Physx GPU)

[bmadhven]

Rig:

AMD Ryzen 3 1200

A320m-HD2

2×8gb Adata ddr4

GT1030 (thermal repasted, OC)

 

As you see I'm tight there (cuz of budget, couldn't spend for a GTX 1050ti and on Overclockable motherboard). I have clean console like performance(demanding titles on 30fps and others 60+fps), no shutters and lags. But since I have some to spare now, SHOULD I DROP A GT730 IN AS A DEDICATED PHYSX CARD? Will it work ?Will it be worth? Or will it bottleneck?

Physx is pointless these days.

Nah not worth it. You'd be better off saving up to make the jump to a 1050(Ti) in the future.

If you have money to spare, get an AMD hd 7850 or something off of ebay (I got one for $50) and sell the gt 1030. The 1030 is more expensive and has a lower performance. You might not want to if you have g-sync, a low-power slot (hd 7850 does require external power), or not enough physical room.

physx is useless unless you want to play borderlands 2 a lot or even the arkham games

Don't buy A320 chipset

You should have just kept saving for a refurb 1050 Ti from EVGA - they have them on their site for around $150-175 from time to time.

Yes it can 'work' as in... it can function, but whether or not you'll get any benefit whatsoever is probably more of a "no". 

As far as I'm seeing, there are not many games these days which use PhysX, and generally you're better off letting the main/single graphics card handle everything rather than offloading PhysX to a much older worse card.

However, I have a pair of Titan V's in my main rig right now since I was trying to mod them to enable NVLink and by default Nvidia Control Panel set the 2nd one to PhysX. I have noticed roughly 30-45% higher FPS in Witcher 3 with this setup than I got with SLI 1080 Ti's - and I know Witcher 3 does use PhysX for some of its physics effects so it's possible that having a 2nd current-gen card for PhysX is helping but I would not at all ever recommend anyone buy two $3000 graphics cards to use in this way.
